HOLISTIC BIKE FIT
Comfort, performance or both—your choice.
The geometry of your gravel bike significantly influences your posture—and your posture, in turn, determines how the bike performs for you. Every rider is distinct, with unique body structures, physical strengths, and personal preferences. How can a one-size-fits-all approach possibly deliver the excellence you deserve?
11 tubes and parts each perfectly measured, cut and mitered for you.
IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE
INCREASE YOUR COMFORT
IMPROVE YOUR ENDURANCE
For a gravel bike to truly excel, it must align perfectly with its motor: the rider. Bike and rider should function as one seamless entity. What’s the point of having a perfectly crafted bike if the motor isn’t performing at its peak? And what’s the point of a powerful motor if the bike doesn’t feel like an extension of the rider?
That’s why Jaegher is the first bike brand to introduce the Jaegher HOLISTIC BIKEFIT®.
Together with Lieven Maesschalk (*) and Gilles Van Kerckvoorde we developed this approach.
This holistic method ensures that both you and your bike are in optimal harmony by taking a 360-degree approach to bike fitting. It’s not just about determining the perfect geometry, saddle height, or handlebar position—it's about understanding how your body moves and reacts to cycling. We assess factors like muscle imbalances, flexibility, and riding posture to determine the geometry and customize the fit to maximize your efficiency on the bike.
But the process doesn't end with the bike fit. Through a series of targeted, well-defined exercises, we address areas in need of strengthening or mobility improvement, helping you build a solid physical foundation for enhanced performance.
By focusing on both the rider and the bike, this method unlocks a smoother, more powerful ride, optimizing each pedal stroke and supporting your long-term cycling goals—whether you're racing, exploring gravel roads or enjoying long-distance rides.
With a focus on the whole rider, not just the bike, the Jaegher Holistic Bikefit Program elevates your cycling experience to its highest potential
The goal is to maximize every pedal stroke
while ensuring you remain free of discomfort or strain.
Some examples of how our Holistic Bikefit Program can help you perform better:
- Enhance your balance and stability
- Achieve a more aerodynamic riding posture
- Increase core strength for improved stability and power transfer
- Improve hip flexibility for a smoother pedal stroke
- Improve proprioception and coordination for more efficient pedal mechanics
- Correct movement inefficiencies: e.g. knee drifting outward with each pedal stroke, which can reduce power output.
In 2001, Maesschalck developed his own concept, Move To Cure, which literally translates to "Healing Through Proper Movement." Together with a team of physiotherapists, he specializes in treating complex orthopedic injuries. Often referred to as the "miracle man" (a nickname he dislikes), he works with the world's best elite athletes.
His clients include AC Milan, Real Madrid, the Belgian Red Devils, An Wauters and cycling legends such as Remco Evenepoel, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel.

THE LIVING SPIRIT OF STEEL
Unbeatable comfort/performance ratio
Spirit steel is an exceptional choice for riders seeking a balance of comfort and performance, making it ideal for gravel bikes.
For those prioritizing even greater performance, the FL.X Hurricane offers a compelling alternative with its stainless steel tubeset. Additionally, we can customize the Hurricane's geometry to enhance comfort, tailoring it to your specific needs.
Jaegher and Columbus Italia developed an exclusive high performance stainless steel tube set.
Spirit steel — FL.S series
For many gravel riders, nothing compares to the performance and comfort of Spirit Steel. This exclusive steel tube set, custom-made for Jaegher, has quickly become a favorite among those who demand the best from their bikes. Spirit steel is renowned for its unique damping properties, which help to absorb vibrations and reduce road fatigue, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride over even the roughest terrain.
What sets Spirit Steel apart is its exceptional ability to deliver the perfect balance of confort and performance. Unlike other materials, Spirit Steel is designed to provide just the right amount of responsiveness, allowing for precise handling without sacrificing comfort. It offers a level of compliance that is hard to match, ensuring that riders can power through gravel roads with confidence while still enjoying a smooth ride.
This steel is not just about comfort, it’s about performance that lasts. The durability and strength of Spirit Steel ensure that your bike will maintain its integrity, ride after ride, no matter the challenges of the trail. For gravel riders who value both long-term reliability and a ride that feels like it was made just for them, Spirit Steel is the ultimate choice.
Stainless steel — FL.X series
For gravel riders who prioritize performance, stainless steel is an outstanding choice. Its increased stiffness provides precise handling and efficient power transfer, translating to better acceleration and control over varied surfaces. At the same time, it still offers more comfort than carbon, thanks to its natural ability to absorb vibrations, giving riders the endurance they need for longer rides without experiencing excessive fatigue or discomfort.
One of the most significant advantages of stainless steel, especially when compared to carbon, is its durability. Unlike carbon frames, which are known to be brittle under extreme stress or impact, stainless steel is known for its resilience and ability to withstand the toughest conditions. There is virtually no risk of cracks, fractures or breakage, ensuring that your bike can handle all the demands of gravel riding without compromising its integrity. Whether you're taking on a gravel race, exploring remote trails or simply enjoying a long-distance ride, stainless steel provides the reliability and performance you can count on, ride after ride.
With its combination of performance, comfort, and unmatched durability, stainless steel is the material of choice for serious gravel riders who want a bike that will perform at the highest level, no matter the challenge.
So why don’t we see more people ride a spirit steel or stainless steel gravel bike?
It’s a question we often get and the answer is simple: while Spirit Steel and Stainless Steel are exceptional and outstanding materials for bespoke gravel and race cycles, it’s notoriously challenging to work with. it’s notoriously challenging to work with. Stainless steel is unforgiving—only the most skilled welders can master it, every weld must be executed with flawless precision. Additionally, Its remarkable hardness also takes a toll on machinery, causing wear and tear up to five times faster than with other materials, rendering the crafting process even more demanding.

The frame — material and geometry — sets the standard for excellence in cycling.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Make your bike as beautiful as the natural environment you are riding through.
What could be more beautiful than a purebred stainless steel gravel bike? Its unpainted finish not only exudes timeless elegance but also resists scratches and wear better than painted surfaces.
Or perhaps you prefer a bespoke lacquered Tornado. Choose from elegant wet lacquers or the ultra-durable ceramic coating for a finish that is as tough as it is striking.
Pure and exceptionally tough
Customization is still very much a part of the experience. In fact, 95% of our Hurricane gravel bike customers opt for one of our many ceramic coating colours to add a unique touch to their bike. While the majority of a Jaegher bike features brushed stainless steel, the logo, iconic Jaegher details or your personal number are painted and oven-baked for a durable, long-lasting finish.
This ceramic coating is exceptionally tough, able to withstand scratches from rubble and branches.
Bespoke and exclusive
Most gravel riders who choose the Tornado fully embrace the bespoke nature of their bike, opting for a full lacquered frame with one or two ceramic colours or wet lacquers, and designs like the 'speed technique.' They often complement this with bold wet paint finishes or personalized designs, making the fork or cockpit a standout feature.
